New Years Resolution

Hi Friends,

It's me! I know you might not even remember...
For New Years I made the resolution to find time to blog regularly again. One might think that this is not hard at all and a stupid resolution. Let me tell you. When I look at my last post from JUNE.. I think this is just crazy. Life gets so busy at times that it is almost unthinkable to have just a couple of minutes left in the day to do something out of your schedule.
Now that it is almost April, I think I'm going to start with my resolution and at least keep you in on all the cool new things I have planned.

No need to show you all the old saved drafts of our wedding décor/signs etc. Maybe I do a one year anniversary post in 5 months to remember this once in a lifetime event, the crazy and fun times beforehand, the amazing honeymoon in Thailand afterwards and the now blissful marriage! :)

With all this said, we have a lot of work coming up - we bought a cabin in Blue Ridge, GA and are going to close in the next couple of weeks.
The cabin is very cute, has 3 bedrooms and a downstairs area with 2 bunk beds. A total of 10 people could stay there at ones. Unfortunately besides the two bunk beds, it is coming unfurnished. My mind is racing, I already created a mood board to get all the ideas in my head organized.
All the fun projects that come with it. My fingers are twitching as I type this. I did already build some items which I'm going to share with you in the next couple of weeks.

To make the wait worthwhile I'm showing you a picture of the outside of our soon to be mountain retreat.
 
 

Email me if you are interested in renting it! :)  I'm so excited to tackle all the little projects, spending quality time with the hubby and our doggies and hopefully make some rental income along the way.
 
Until next time - very soon.
 
xoxo

Wing Chair Recovery - Part II

Image
Only for those of you who already forgot how the wing chair looked when I first got it, here is a picutre which I took in the thrift store! For the amazing price of $18 it is all mine.   Too nasty to sit in, I first ripped off all of the fabric, (I'll spare you the details, since I blogged about that before ) layed the old fabric out, cut the new fabric pieces a little bigger than the old ones and made little fabric piles. I bought about 9' of fabric online at http://www.fabric.com/  I kept all of the old buttons, cut little circles and sewed fabric on each of them. I can tell you, that was my least favorite part.    After all 27 buttons were done, the back seat was the first piece that I re-buttoned.   The buttons go all the way through the fabric and cushion - the back part gets spread apart and rests on the foam. I put the cushion in place and stapled it firm to the back. Repeated all those steps with the seat. For the arms, I had to put some more battin

My new toy..

Last week when we picked up our new dining room table at Borders, I became the lucky owner of a CRAFT ROOM! I’m still so excited about it. My own private room where I can have all my little projects lined up and organized, or just all of them messy, laid out in the room with the door shut. You already think, what does this have to do with a new dining room table? Let me tell you! J We had this spare room before and couldn’t decide what we are going to do with it. We have two guest bedrooms upstairs, one already furnished for guests the other one empty. We were thinking about renting one room, but I’m just not that kinda girl. I need my privacy and want to lay on the couch whenever I want to, without a stranger in my house. I thought about a baby’s room – but I guess that is a little too early. SO I came up with that perfect idea, since the room is empty anyways to have a craft room! Brian gets the garage and I get a room for myself! Deal! So last Saturday when we picked up the table,

The Nursery - Final reveal

Image
  I know you couldn't wait any longer to find out if we are going to have a boy or girl. I don't keep it any longer from you, I promise.   Both of us wanted a boy, but really just a healthy little baby is all we asked for.   Since I don't count to the younger childbearing generation anymore, there were some tests that I had to do. One of them is for down syndrome. Scary stuff, let me tell you. With that test though, you can find out the gender and when I received the call with the results, I immediately started crying. Happy and over the moon that the baby is completely healthy but totally in shock that it is a.... CAN YOU SAY BOY???   No wonder I have hair growing like crazy in my face, all this testosterone in me probably doesn't help the weirdest pregnancy outcomes. At least (so far) I haven't been too bitchy, hormonal. Don't ask Brian though, he would probably tell you differently.   I called Brian to tell him and the only thing he said wa
